100 Scriptural Proofs That Jesus Christ Will Save All Mankind

For those of you who have not yet discovered the magnitude of the victory
of Jesus Christ, that is, that He will indeed fulfill His Father's will, which
is clearly Scripturally stated to save all mankind and bring all to the knowledge
of the truth, you may have a difficult time thinking of even one Scripture
that would indicate that all will eventually be saved. But after you escape
the sectarian walls of denominationalism; when you take off the dark glasses
of religion ( a Latin word that means "return to bondage"), then the chaff
of the letter which kills is removed and the Bible truly becomes a Word of
Life. It is then that the Victory of Jesus Christ is seen on almost every
page of Scripture.

Many early Christian Americans discovered Jesus
as the Savior of the whole world. I came across literally hundreds of old
books written in the late 1700's and early 1800's that declared in Scriptural
form the Everlasting Gospel that Jesus will redeem every single soul created.
One of these books had a chapter that briefly commented on 100 Scriptures
that declared the Salvation of all mankind. Reprinted below and in future
editions of Dew from Mount Hermon is this list and his brief comments. I
will be doing some editing as the English of today is different from that
of 150 years ago. Any comments I may make will be in parenthesis. It was
written in 1840 by Thomas Whittemore.

GOD THE CREATOR OF MEN

God is the Creator of all men. "He hath made
of one blood, all nations of men, to dwell on all the face of the earth."
Acts 17:26 He would not have created intelligent beings, had he known
they were to be forever miserable. To suppose that God would bring beings
into existence who he knew would be infinite losers by that existence,
is to charge him with the utmost malignity. The existence itself would
not be a blessing, but a curse; the greatness of which cannot be described.
As God is infinite in knowledge, and as he sees the end from the beginning,
he must have known before the creation, the result of the existence
he was about to confer, and whether, upon the whole, it would be a blessing;
and , as he was not under any necessity to create man, being also infinitely
benevolent, he could not have conferred an existence that he knew would
end in the worst possible consequences to his creatures.

GOD THE FATHER OF MEN

God is the Father of all men. "Have we not
all one Father? Hath not one God created us?" Mal. 2:10 A kind Father
will not punish his children but for their good. God is evidently called
the Father of all men in the Scriptures, and this is not an unmeaning
name; he has the disposition and principles of a Father. He loves with
a Father's love; he watches with a Father's care; he reproves with a
Father's tenderness; he punishes with a Father's design. God is the
Father of all men; and, therefore, he cannot make mankind endlessly
miserable.

GOD THE LORD, OR OWNER OF MEN

All men, of right, belong to God. "Behold,
all souls are mine," saith the Lord. "As the soul of the father, so
also the soul of the son is mine." Ezek. 18:4 God will not give up what
belongeth to him, to the dominion of sin and Satan forever. All men
are God's by creation; he made them all. They are his by preservation;
he sustains them all. They were his at first, and they always have remained
in his care. "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the
world, and they that dwell therein." That God, who says to men, "If
any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house,
he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel," can never abandon
his own creatures. He will ever exercise a gracious care over them,
as will be more fully seen in the following reasons.

ALL MEN COMMITTED TO CHRIST'S CARE

God hath given all things to Christ, as the
moral Ruler of the world. "Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen
for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession." Psalms 2:8 "The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all
things into his hand." John 3:35 "All things," here, means all intelligent
beings. So say the best commentators. (The word things is in italics
in the KJV which means it is not in the Greek. We are not talking about
trees here.)

God gave all beings to Christ that he might
save them. "Thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give
eternal life to as many as thou hast given him." John 7:2 This plainly
evinces, that it was God's design, in giving Christ dominion over all
flesh, that they should all enjoy eternal life.

It is certain that Christ will save all that
the Father hath given him. "All that the Father giveth me, shall come
to me, and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out." John 6:37
These three propositions are irrefragable evidence of the final happiness
of all men. 1st. God hath given all things to Christ. 2d. All that God
hath given him shall come to him; and 3d. him that cometh he will in nowise
cast out. All are given; all shall come; and none shall be cast out. What
is the unavoidable conclusion?

THE WILL OF GOD

It is THE WILL of God that all men shall
be saved. "Who will have all men to be saved, and come unto the knowledge
of the truth." KJV 1Tim. 2:4 By "all men", in this passage, is undoubtedly
to be understood all the human race. Salvation comes through the belief
of the truth. God wills that all men should come to the knowledge of
the truth, and be saved thereby.

God inspires the hearts of the good to pray
for the salvation of all men, and say, as Jesus said, "Thy will be done."
Matt. 6:10. Adam Clarke says, "Because he wills the salvation of all men,
therefore he wills that all men should be prayed for; as in 1 Tim. 2:1.
"I exhort, therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks be made for all men." Would God inspire the hearts
of his saints to pray for the salvation of all mankind, if he knew they
would not all be saved?

Jesus came to do the will of God. "My meat
is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." John 4:34
"Lo, I come to do they will, O God." Heb. 10:9 The will of God is, that
all men be saved. This is his will, by way of distinction and preeminence.
Jesus came to do this will. He came as the Savior, as the Savior of all
men. He came as the good Shepherd, to seek and save that which was lost.
He came to save all men, not only those who lived on the earth while he
was here, but all who lived before, and all who have since lived, and
all who shall live. Jesus gave himself a ransom for all; he tasted death
for every man; and unto him, at last, every knee shall bow, and every
tongure shall confess him Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Such is
the way in which Jesus does the will of God.

The will of God cannot be resisted. "He doeth
according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants
of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest
thou?" Dan. 4:35. Who can resist a being of Almighty power? What God wills
to take place, must take place. He wills the salvation of all men because
it is right. A God of purity cannot desire endless sin and rebellion.
If he wills the salvation of all men, he wills all the means by which
it shall be accomplished; it must therefore take place.
